(For outdoor shooting, Fox has a 2,300-acre ranch, 25 miles away in the Malibu district.) Fox will continue to let Universal Consolidated Oil Co., which is pumping crude from underground stations that cannot be seen at street level, and which has paid more than $500,000 in royalties to Fox since the lot's first deep well was brought in late in 1955, drill...
